"A small amount of marijuana was also found on the sailboat, but it was unclear who was responsible for the drug being there..."

Always make sure your stash is well secured... geez....

Never leave a viable vessel. Pay the man to get towed off. Darwin award awarded presumably posthumously.

Failure is not an option.

"had his right lung removed."

The poor guy had only one lung, and apparently tried to swim across a section of the bay to the mainland.

one problem usually begets another... I hate to see this happen to anyone, but I have assisted stubborn skippers who insisted on behaving stupidly and on one occasion called the Coasties to report a death wish skipper... Sad for so many reasons.
